As we turn the page I realize that 2013 has been amazing and definitely Sassy!
On April 1st, I dove head-first into blogland and published my first post here at The Sassy Quilter. I began by paying homage to my Grandmother and teacher(her nickname was “Sassy”, the original) and my very first quilt that I finished with her six years ago. You can read all about it here in My Quilt Story.
Every day since has been packed full of quilty goodness and I am loving every minute of it! My quilty universe is ever expanding with new things to learn, quilts to make, friends to meet, fabric to buy(of course) and the inspiration from my fellow bloggers is never ending.
Here is a 2013 Sassy review:
My top posts were…
- 1 Sunday Funday Sunshine- this one was a giveaway and Sunshine quilt finish.
- 2 How to make your own Design Wall- for $25 or less!
- 3 Hexagon Pillow- my short-lived dabble in English Paper Piecing
